Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) The concept of ‘deep renovation’ has not yet been defined in Union legislation. With a view to achieving the long-term vision for buildings, deep renovation should be defined as a renovation that transforms buildings into zero-emission buildings; in a first step, as a renovation that transforms buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings. This definition serves the purpose of increasing the energy performance of buildings. A deep renovation for energy performance purposes is a prime opportunity to address other aspects such as living conditions of vulnerable households, increasing climate resilience, resilience against disaster risks including seismic resilience, fire and electrical safety, the removal of hazardous substances including asbestos, and accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Amendment 407 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 35 a (new)
Recital 35 a (new)
(35 a) Integrated district approaches allow for overall renovation concepts for buildings that are spatially related such as housing blocks. Therefore, this Directive should promote the wider use of integrated, participative and district- related approaches that allow for making use of synergies and potential energy savings which would remain untapped when focusing exclusively on individual buildings. Districts should be determined at the discretion of local authorities according to local needs and location in the context of this Directive.

Recital 47
Recital 47
(47) Financing alone will not deliver on the renovation needs. Together with financing, setting up accessible and transparent advisory tools and assistance instruments such as one-stop-shops that provide integrated energy renovation services or facilitators, as well as implementing other measures and initiatives such as those referred to in the Commission’s Smart Finance for Smart Buildings Initiative, is indispensable to provide the right enabling framework and break barriers to renovation. One-stop- shops can play an important role in connecting potential projects with market players, including citizens, public authorities and project developers, in particular smaller-scale projects as well as guidance on permit procedures, promoting access to funding for building renovation, and helping to disseminate information on terms and conditions.
Amendment 459 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 56 a (new)
Recital 56 a (new)
(56 a) A precondition for doubling the renovation rate is not only the financial feasibility of the construction measures - especially in view of the further increase in producer prices for construction materials - but also the availability of sufficient personnel capacities in the construction industry and construction administration. In this respect, the Member States should be given more flexibility in implementing the targets under current market conditions. The affordability of construction and housing should not be put at risk at anytime. Economic unaffordability should lead to exemption from renovation obligations.
